OPERATING CHAIN SAW

WARNING: Do not cut all the way through tree. Leave about two inches of tree diameter uncut directly behind felling notch (see Figure 10). This uncut portion acts as a hinge. The hinge helps keep tree from twisting and falling in wrong direction.

LIMBING A TREE

WARNING:Avoid kickback. Kickback can result in severe injury or death. See Kickback to avoid risk of kickback.

WARNING: When cutting limb that is under tension, use extreme caution. Be alert for wood springing back. When wood tension is released, limb could spring back and strike operator causing severe injury or death.

Limbing is removing branches from a fallen tree. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet. Do not remove larger limbs under tree that support log off ground. Remove each limb with one cut (see Figure 11). Clear cut limbs from work area often. This will help maintain a safe work area.

Make sure you start your cut where limb will not pinch saw during cutting. To avoid pinching, start cut on freely hanging limbs from above limb. Start cut on limbs under tension from under limb. If pinch occurs, turn saw off, lift limb, and remove saw.

BUCKING A LOG

WARNING:Avoid kickback. Kickback can result in severe injury or death. See Kickback to avoid risk of kickback.

WARNING:

If on slope, make sure log will not roll down hill. Secure log by using wooden stakes. Drive wooden stakes into ground on downhill side of log. Stand on uphill side of log while cutting. Log may roll after cutting.

Never try cutting through two logs at same time. This could increase the risk of kickback.

While cutting log, never hold log with your hand, leg, or foot.

While cutting log, never allow another person to hold log.

Turn off and unplug saw before moving from one place to another.

Bucking a log is cutting a log into sections. Make sure your footing is firm. Keep feet apart. Divide your weight evenly on both feet. When possible, raise log or section off ground. Do this by using limbs, logs, chocks, etc. When cutting through log, maintain control by re- ducing cutting pressure near end of cut. Do not relax your grip on chain saw handles. Do not let moving chain touch ground. Ground will dull moving chain. After cutting through log, release trigger to turn saw off before moving saw.
